Little Derrick Lake is a lake in Washington, near King County.
Little Derrick Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 1.73 acres.
Little Derrick Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Little Derrick Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a calm morning near a channel bend after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near a shaded bank in clear water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a careful second pass near a clean gravel patch in stained water, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using one check of the nearest drop near the edge of deeper water close to shade, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During the first hour near an open-water edge in clear water, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the final pass near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
